Manufacturers today are finding more and more opportunities to enhance their products with nutritional ingredients. With these opportunities there come challenges for the product developer to develop products that provide the nutritional benefits desired, while balancing taste profile, colour, shelf life and cost. Calico Foods and Wright Nutrition have the expertise and the experience to formulate a preblend that will perform to your expectations.

Using their new SuperCoat microencapsulation technology Wright Nutrition can formulate blends that reduce reactivity, and mask the unwanted taste of vitamins, minerals, amino acids and nutraceuticals. SuperCoat ingredients also perform very well under extreme processing temperatures, and high shear conditions, allowing reduced overages and increased efficiency.

Formulation of nutritional blends is handled on a case by case basis. We work with our customers to determine the optimum blend of ingredients for your product & process conditions. Please contact us and we can get to work formulating a blend that's right for you.
